Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual. ■ Read and follow the specific precautions in the Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive Microwave Energy section above. ■ This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to a properly grounded outlet. See the Grounding Instructions section on page 5. ■ Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions. ■ Be certain to place the front surface of the door 3″ or more back from the countertop edge to avoid accidental tipping of the appliance in normal usage. ■ Do not mount this appliance over a sink. ■ Do not mount the microwave oven over or near any portion of a heating or cooking appliance. ■ Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave oven surface when the microwave oven is in operation. ■ Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped. ■ Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance. ■ Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This microwave oven is specifically designed to heat, dry or cook food, and is not intended for laboratory or industrial use. ■ Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water—for example, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or near a sink. ■ Keep power cord away from heated surfaces. ■ Do not immerse power cord or plug in water. ■ Do not let power cord hang over edge of table or counter. ■ To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity: – Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance if paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven while cooking. – Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles from paper or plastic containers before placing them in the oven. – Do not use the oven for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use. – If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. If the door is opened, the fire may spread. ■ See door surface cleaning instructions in the Care and cleaning of the microwave oven section of this manual. ■ GE does not support any servicing of the microwave. We strongly recommend that you do not attempt to service the microwave yourself. ■ As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS GEAppliances.com Safety Instructions WARNING! ARCING If you see arcing, press the CLEAR/OFF pad and correct the problem. Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by: ■ Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins or goldrimmed dishes, in the microwave. ■ Metal or foil touching the side of the oven. ■ Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the microwave. ■ Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas). ■ Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless in a special microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens. ■ Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers—for example, closed jars—will explode and should not be heated in this microwave oven. Such use of the microwave oven could result in injury. ■ Operating the microwave with no food inside for more than a minute or two may cause damage to the oven and could start a fire. It increases the heat around the magnetron and can shorten the life of the oven. ■ Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such as potatoes, hot dogs, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets and egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking. ■ SUPERHEATED WATER Microwaved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach the boiling point. They can actually get superheated and not bubble at all. To prevent this from happening and causing injury, do not heat any liquid for more than 2 minutes per cup. After heating, let the cup stand in the microwave for 30 seconds before moving it or putting anything into it. ■ Spontaneous boiling—Under certain special circumstances, liquids may start to boil during or shortly after removal from the microwave oven. To prevent burns from splashing liquid, we recommend the following: before removing the container from the oven, allow the container to stand in the oven for 30 to 40 seconds after the oven has shut off. Do not boil liquids in narrownecked containers such as soft drink bottles, wine flasks, and especially narrow-necked coffee cups. Even if the container is opened, excessive steam can build up and cause it to burst or overflow. ■ Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when opening any containers of hot food, including popcorn bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible injury, direct steam away from hands and face. ■ Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to your oven. ■ Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness. Consumer Support Superheated liquid will bubble up out of the cup when it is moved or when something like a spoon or tea bag is put into it. ■ Don’t defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to burst, possibly resulting in injury. Troubleshooting Tips ■ Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure will build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in injury. ■ Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with the lid off. Make sure all infant food is thoroughly cooked. Stir food to distribute the heat evenly. Be careful to prevent scalding when warming formula. The container may feel cooler than the formula really is. Always test the formula before feeding the baby. Operating Instructions FOODS Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. WARNING! MICROWAVE-SAFE COOKWARE Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Operating Instructions Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled “suitable for microwaving.” ■ If you are not sure if a dish is microwave-safe, use this test: Place in the oven both the dish you are testing and a glass measuring cup filled with 1 cup of water—set the measuring cup either in or next to the dish. Microwave 30–45 seconds at high. If the dish heats, it should not be used for microwaving. If the dish remains cool and only the water in the cup heats, then the dish is microwave-safe. ■ If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens. ■ Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled paper towels, napkins and waxed paper can contain metal flecks which may cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or nylon filaments should be avoided, as they may also ignite. ■ Some styrofoam trays (like those that meat is packaged on) have a thin strip of metal embedded in the bottom. When microwaved, the metal can burn the floor of the oven or ignite a paper towel. ■ Do not use the microwave to dry newspapers. ■ Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens. Check the package for proper use. ■ Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap can be used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam can escape. ■ Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to handle the cookware. ■ “Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by package. If they are not, plastic could burst during or immediately after cooking, possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered because they form a tight seal. When cooking with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering carefully and direct steam away from hands and face. ■ Use foil only as directed in this guide. TV dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than 3/4″ high; remove the top foil cover and return the tray to the box. When using foil in the microwave oven, keep the foil at least 1 inch away from the sides of the oven. ■ Plastic cookware—Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking is very useful, but should be used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking, the food and cookware could ignite. Follow these guidelines: Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations. Do not microwave empty containers. Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without complete supervision. GEAppliances.com If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. We do not recommend using an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. (See EXTENSION CORDS section.) For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical outlet to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker. ADAPTER PLUGS Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected infrequently. (Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada) Align large prongs/slots TEMPORARY METHOD Ensure proper ground and firm connection before use. CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring. You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded. When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established. Troubleshooting Tips Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug. However, if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL listed adapter which is available at most local hardware stores. The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord. Operating Instructions This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Safety Instructions GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING—Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected frequently. Consumer Support Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because frequent disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. You should have the two-prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance. Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. WARNING! EXTENSION CORDS A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if you are careful in using them. If an extension cord is used— The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance; The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord and it must be plugged into a 3-slot outlet; Operating Instructions The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. If you use an extension cord, the interior light may flicker and the blower sound may vary when the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be longer, too.

POWER LEVEL repeatedly to select 1 Press power level 0 to HI. 2 Enter cooking time. 3 Press START. Rest periods (when the microwave energy cycles off) give time for the food to “equalize” or transfer heat to the inside of the food. An example of this is shown with power level 30—the defrost cycle. If microwave energy did not cycle off, the outside of the food would cook before the inside was defrosted. Here are some examples of uses for various power levels: HI: Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling liquids. Med-High 70: Gentle cooking of meat and poultry; baking casseroles and reheating. Operating Instructions Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave cooking. The power levels on the microwave oven can be compared to the surface units on a range. Each power level gives you microwave energy a certain percent of the time. Power level 70 is microwave energy 70% of the time. Power level 30 is energy 30% of the time. Most cooking will be done on HI which gives you 100% power. HI power level will cook faster but food may need more frequent stirring, rotating or turning over. A lower setting will cook more evenly and need less stirring or rotating of the food. Some foods may have better flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower settings is used. Use a lower power level when cooking foods that have a tendency to boil over, such as scalloped potatoes. Safety Instructions The power level may be entered or changed before entering the time for Time Cook. GEAppliances.com Medium 50: Slow cooking and tenderizing for stews and less tender cuts of meat. Low 20 or 30: Defrosting; simmering; delicate sauces. Warm 10: Keeping food warm; softening butter. Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support Safety Instructions About the time features.

The oven will continue to defrost if you don’t open the door and turn the food. A dull thumping noise may be heard during defrosting. This is normal when oven is not operating at HI power. Defrosting Tips ■ Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in the package. Closed packages should be slit, pierced or vented AFTER food has partially defrosted. Plastic storage containers should be partially uncovered. ■ Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners can be defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish. ■ Foods that spoil easily should not be allowed to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. ■ For more even defrosting of larger foods, such as roasts, use Auto Defrost. Be sure large meats are completely defrosted before cooking. ■ When defrosted, food should be cool but softened in all areas. If still slightly icy, return to the microwave very briefly, or let it stand a few minutes.

Shielding In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning. When microwaving, you use small strips of foil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on poultry, which would cook before larger parts.

Note that a microwaved cake is not placed on a cooling rack. Venting After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by turning back one corner so excess steam can escape.
